The manual lists only ddr400, but I'd like to know if the board can use
faster memory. Anyone try ddr500, and notice a performance improvement?

Only way to run faster then DDR400 would be to raise the CPU bus clock
which should also raise the ram bus clock. I have DDR500 in my AMD 64, I
just lowered the CPU multiplier (lowers are unlocked) and raised the CPU
bus clock.
